Hi guys. I thought I'd share this build on here. I appreciate this forum and the help it's given me through searching and posting questions. The only thing left to do is add the lar/mar ppimv, screen grid resistors, and bias and add the handle to the cabinet when it finally arrives direct from Marshall. I'm very proud of this. I sourced everything myself and built everything from scratch. I know the caps and resistors aren't vintage but as long as it sounds good I don't care......I built this for myself. Hope you fellas like.http://s1373.photobucket.com/user/danwe ... t=3&page=1
Sound clips shortly

Re: My first build.... jtm45+
that's a keeper dan, can hear some genuine jtm45 tone in there. I think those transformers are nice. I'd try and get a bit more saturation though. what is the detail of your whole rig? 2 speakers or 4? tubes?
I wouldn't worry about not using the old caps. It's not that important although maybe a mustard or two down the road wouldn't hurt. that's the beauty of handwired, you can swap easily later.
Personally, I'd try and get rid of that master volume. You should only run two speakers with a 45 and if needed just wire in a speaker motor from weber to take the little bit of wattage overspill.
